I WOULD like to take this opportunity to thank the kind and honest person who handed in my car (and house) keys to the reception desk at Tesco during the run-up to Christmas.

I fear that I must have left them in the rear door of my car and I can only claim old age and senility coupled with shopping fever for this lapse. Anyway, thank you once again for helping to restore my faith in the human race.

Derick Farrar,
